Locals Know Best.

This project is my idea on how to have some fun and get the word out to people about the best places to go to while they are on vacation. I feel like this is a great community project and can help tell the squidoo community more about the cities we live in. If you want to make a lens and get it featured on here just send me a message with your name, the city you wrote about, a short description of the city, and the link to your lens.

Ramkitten has written a really great lens about her city in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Here is her short description of the city: "Flagstaff is in the heart of the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world, at the base of the San Francisco Peaks. Those living at lower elevations, like Phoenix, come up to "Flag" to cool off in the summer. And when we in Flag want to warm up during the winter, we drive just an hour or two "down the hill" and peel off some of the layers."

If you are looking for a great place to stay and hang out near the seaside for an inexpensive price Havant is the destination to go to in the UK.

Here is what Jennysue19 said about her home town: "I don't live in a city, just a little almost-seaside town on the South Coast of the UK - but there are inexpensive places to stay or eat or have a drink, and lots of places to visit nearby"

Its a great lens to read and I recommend having a look at it here:http://www.squidoo.com/livinginHavant

Nara has written a fantastic lens about her little city of Sonoma, California which is filled with a vast amount of rich history. I feel its a great lens and a great place to visit if your in the neighborhood anytime soon. Here is a little tidbit of the intro to her lens about what she thinks of her town:

"I'm Nara White Owl and I live in a small town with a lot of history. Here in Sonora, California a great deal of old history and new history being made.

Living in a small town is very peaceful and we do not have big shopping, but we have some great stores. After living in Southern California I have to tell you it is great to live in a small town like Sonora."

Prosperity66 has written a great quiz/lens on her home town of Brussels. Here is a little introduction to her quiz from her lens:
"I was born and raised in Brussels, Belgium. It's my Home Town. Unfortunately, Brussels underwent major changes during these last years, this is what urged me to leave.

However, I always loved this town and still do.

Brussels is a beautiful town, founded in the late 900; which means it's more than 1000 years old. The town hosts the most beautiful place in the world: the Grand Place and its marvelous King's House, Town Hall and other houses built over the centuries."

If you would like to take the quiz (which, I must say, is a lot of fun) you can find it by clicking the pretty blue letters to the right of the colon:http://www.squidoo.com/quiz-beauties-of-brussels-my-home-town

Paperfacets has written a great lens about his home town in California along route 66. Here is what he had to say about his town:

"La Verne was an orange grove town along Route 66. It looks like a suburb now. Our family has enjoyed living here since 1984. The city has turned Route 66 into a shady tree lined thoroughfare. No more orange trees."
